 March
5, 2004:
Med League
Support Services is pleased to announce that our president,
Patricia Iyer, has successfully completed the requirements
to renew her legal nurse consultant certification
(LNCC). This certification examination tests knowledge of
the specialty practice area of legal nurse consulting. Administered
by the American Legal Nurse Consultant Certification Board
(ALNCCB), the LNCC program is becoming a means of identifying
registered nurses who have achieved defined levels of knowledge,
experience, and education in the medical legal system. Certification
is granted by examination to registered nurses with at least
2000 hours of practice in the last five years as a legal
nurse consultant.
Legal nurse
consultants serve in a number of settings, including independent
practices, law firms, insurance companies, government offices,
and health care risk management departments. We are experienced
in preparing medical record chronologies, assisting attorneys
with discovery, educating attorneys on pertinent medical
facts and identifying issues pertaining to standards of
care, causation and damages in cases. Our expertise has
proven to be a cost-effective, resourceful and knowledgeable
resource for legal professionals today.
